we have been very very busy this last week, with trying to get tiff better, and my eye, and the new products that we are going to be carrying, planning the trip to utah, the new website, and the yard here.


we finally started to ride the horse, got his feet done again so we can safely ride him, and have been riding him every other day, and work him on the hills to build his shoulders and butt. but i am very glad to get him back in shape, and to build him up for winter. I have not built his shelter yet, but will when i get back. he has quite a spot in the top of the pasture, in the trees. full of madrone and pine, and is quite the spot. about 3 weeks ago the next door neighbors dogs, bull mastifs. got into the pasture and all three where chasing duke.. he was able to out run them, and the owner got the dogs before i got the gun. lucky for the dogs. and since then the dogs have tried to get across the fence again. while riding the horse yesturday one dog got loose, but the owner got to him before he crossed the fence. I wory about tiff riding the horse if the dogs get out, but we know duke can out run them, as long as we can hang on.

but life is great here in paradise, the days are getting shorter, and the nights cool down alot. but it is amazing. the big pond is drying up alot. the back side is abut all dry, so it is not really an island anymore. but the fishing is still great. we are going to have a big fountain next yeat to help with the algae.

grandma and grandpa are great.. we have so much fun with them. they are such a great example, and very supportive and we have fun at dinner every night. we get to help eacther thru out the day. and we get to learn alot from them. we love them so much and have a greta time being with them. we are making many life changing memories.

ok much love have fun, be good, and talk to you soon
